Pellet stoves 101 SAVE MONEY on repair bills

[@jorgematias5504]

Thank you. I was able to fix my stove thanks to your video

[@Random-rt5ec]

I also have an inexpensive Englander pellet stove. To combat breakdowns I keep one of every component that could break in stock in my garage. There are really just 4 components: 1. auger motor, 2. Room air motor, 3. exhaust motor, 4. Vacuum switch that can break down. Keep spares of these on hand & never worry about being down.

[@MCscarfacematt]

and when i do that on litterally anything i get called a hoarder🤣🤣 but smart plan always have it on hand that way you dont freeze waiting for parts

[@cherylsolmonsen2618]

YOU ARE THE BEST! Thank you so much for helping me determine the cause of my stoves failure without hiring a professional. It was a bad airflow switch. God Bless!

[@Batmaan1981]

thank you for this video you seriously just saved me from tearing this stove apart. I've been screwing with this stupid thing for 3 days and now it works perfect

[@danielhoffman2199]

Thank you. Your video is clear and concise without all the bull many feel obligated to say.

[@lanceowens13]

Greatly appreciated this video. My vacuum switch is bad. Your information showed me how to test if this was really the problem. Great info. Thanks.

The fan that recirculate the heated air into your house that you’re showing a picture of if the inside radius of those little fans get a 30 second or 16th of an inch of stuff in them that reduces the airflow that it creates by 20 to 30% so take a few minutes get a Q-tip and and clean each one of those on the inside and add that to your yearly maintenance! I had one of these stoves for six or seven years it’s the simplest easiest most dependable pellet stove on the market the only thing you need for spare parts is one auger motor. They are both the same motor so they are interchangeable! And all of the different brand stoves all use the same auger motor. . And if you really mechanical when they fail and I’ve had several over the years what I’ve discovered is inside the gear case of that auger motor the grease that they use dries up and so no lubrication on the gear mechanism causes The mechanism to intermittently bind so it’ll work for two days you’re clear it spin it and it’ll work for another day or six days and it’ll stop again😳 so what I’ve done is pull it apart clean out that grease put a sealer all the way around where the 2 halves meet, and put some 90 or 120 weight gear lube..... rear end fluid in there it doesn’t take much, lay it flat so that that the split cases in half and fill that front half about halfway 3/4 and then seal the seam and bolted back together!!! Provided that the motor on it is still turning and I have yet to see one of those motors fail! Great video you jog my memory at the beginning of the season for a friend of mine who’s the stove wouldn’t run it was dirty! VACUUM SWITCH😃 Ps also get yourself one of those little oil cans with the long spout on it so you can reach down in and lubricate the front and the rear bearing on the exhaust fan they don’t have a lubrication ports but if you can put a couple drops on the shaft with the motor in your hand and let gravity run it down into each bearing that will prolong the life for that motor in definitely........... Thank you and I’m your ONE PERSON! GOD BLESS OUR AMERICA

[@karlnitsche3279]

What a great reply. Thank you for that information.👍

[@cynthiamoon372]

Thanks for the tip. I’m going to revisit my stove that I gave up on.

[@alejandrobarragan377]

If you helped "one" person? Dude you rocked it

[@littleshepherdfarm2128]

This is awesome info. Thank you for this video. I'm about to find out if mine needs a new pressure switch. If it does I'm going to put a switch inline with the jumper so I don't over work the blower. Lord knows the last thing I need is another part to go bad on it. Thank you.

[@dannyschacht4274]

Thank you for such a simple a definitive video...you, my frind, ROCK!!

[@kevinking1750]

Liked and subscribed. Gonna try this. My pellet stove is just running the ignitor light and not responding to any buttons. I have to unplug it to turn it off, it just hums.

[@tomaszt4045]

Cześć. Potrzebuje pomocy. W piecu nie włącza się wentylator gorącego powietrza. Pracuje tylko na wolbym biegu. Co może być przyczyną? Czujnik temperatury przy wiatraku? Jest taki?

[@chrq4555]

Zaccardi and dRum 1 second ago thank you for the tutorial. very helpful. i do repairs, so much needed. thank you again...stay warm! best wishes,..

[@Anonomush_oranges]

The vacuum switch is normally open or normally closed?

[@martpalm]

Thank you I had the same problem I had to pull the exhaust pipe that goes outside was completely clogged over 6 years. I will try to by pass the safety switch you might not need to buy a new one if you run it for a while then clip it back up sometimes works.

[@walterhynson2898]

Hello great video...my Englander acted up after I cleaned out the t port ehhaust pipe now after a restart its ok ,the circuit board needs a complete rebuild using modern up to date electronics then the stove will be super.

[@kennycotto-escobar3457]

Facts my auger motor when of course was cold.🤪😜😃 good video 10+....👊

[@shanesmaineshop]

Good video, and yes its that time of year. I just did a few videos as well on my pellet stove issues.

[@edmondfitz7085]

The pressure switch is a safety. It's okay to test with a jumper. NEVER leave it running on a jumper. That switch is there for a reason. From HVAC tech with 15 years experience.

[@mr.diytech3591]

Correct, I jumped it to test it. And replaced switch with a new one.

[@travisquicke7169]

What did you use to bridge the 2 wires

[@greggcavagnaro5579]

great, will try it, working on a used James town 2000, auger power issues

[@nickstevens885]

Thanks for your help I fix my sweets like that

[@allenholbrook1332]

Did replacing it work?

[@6.5wally33]

Using 5 amp auto fuse for jumper still have some protection if you have short in system

[@mariaochoa5139]

I have a Whitfield pellet stove .it goes on heats up real night the turns off and starts again can you help me?

[@edgiroux2037]

Do you have any Suggestion for why the 6 amp fuse keeps popping everytime i press the ON button? The stove started up and after about 5 min it stopped and tripped my breaker. I found the burnt fuse, replaced it, plugged it in, hit ON and pop. Replaced it, hit ON, POP. Any Ideas what i can self diagnose first before I call a guy

[@mr.diytech3591]

You have a short somewhere it sounds like. Find out what that 6 amp fuse ties to and trace it all the way back. Somewhere you will find the fault. I suggest doing a continuity test with a multimeter first. It may also be obvious if a wire is burnt in there if your lucky it will stand out. If all else fails call a professional so you don't burn your house down. Better safe than sorry

[@ryanpreston5721]

Hey man, I have a heatilator eco choice, ps35 model. And it wont go past the initial start up fire. Any ideas?

[@vickilewerenz7061]

So what do I use for a jumper?

[@WilliamHollinger2019]

My 6041tp used I check back and it dump more fuel and the aulger stop spinning and heard a big bang from it. Well it was my dad's idea.

[@troybriannatyler4962]

Hello I’ve got an englander pellet stove. About 2 years old. Ran perfect last year. Been using it a hand full of time this year so far so good except past couple night it will fire fine and run fine but within a few hours it will over fill the burn pot with pellets and shut itself off. All my pipes are clean my two clean outs in fire box are clean. Any tips

[@mr.diytech3591]

It sounds like all the ash isn't blowing out of the burn pot after it stops feeding. Clean out all the holes really well and check the quality of the pellets for being a little damp. Could be a combination of things but I would check those first. Hope this helps

[@danielivansteadman7115]

hi I don't know if you will see this but my ashley 5500XL stove turns on and you can hear the exhaust fan start but then it stops then starts then not ,it does this all the time it runs ,other than that it works fine ,any ideas of whats going on? thanks

[@mr.diytech3591]

Sounds like you may have a motor shorting out and starting to go bad. Although I'm not very familiar with the ashley stoves. I would do some quick Google searches on that type of stove to see if others have had the same issue and how they resolved it

[@michaelsheldrew1818]

Thank you for making this video. You helped me out, i know that.

[@flipperpaw]

The brain box in my 20 year old Quadrafire fried. I wound up wiring the blowers and auger to a power strip with a dimmer switch on the auger. Not the safest set up but it runs! No, I don't leave the house with it running like this.

[@miked9383]

I have not heard on pellet stove progress. You could have a clogged exhaust hose orca failed oressure switch. This video shows how to troubleshoot.

how do I clean out the pipe?

I have a question and if anyone can help it would really be a blessing i have a pellet stove and when i turn it on it comes on and the rotator turns but it just automatically shuts off and on the side panel i can't turn the numbers up or down and on the left side on the panel it says the letter E what is going please help anybody

[@mr.diytech3591]

The E stands for error. It means the temp sensor didnt get hot enough to start the blower motor that blows the warm air into the room. Clean your ignitor and the fire pot really well and it should clear up and operate like normal. If it doesnt your ignitor may be starting to go bad and not get hot enough for a good burn to get it going like it should.

[@natgasf4097]

Make very sure it’s a bad pressure switch. Not a good idea to show people who don’t understand the concept of this safety. Could be fatal.

[@juliahannibal9855]

I unplugged my stove and I think I damaged the electrical board

Avoid the PelPro stoves, they tend to have their control boards blow costing $300+ per time.

[@BugzKiller]

Anybody actually find any HIGH TEMP hose for these things so they don't crack all the time and too frequently? I have not had good luck finding any! Bought the usual hose from the pellet stove store, the clear stuff which is suppose to be High Temp, cracks once a week!! What a joke!
